Metra F40 +6

Hello Chicago! Here ya go - the first of several Metra trains is ready to go! The locomotive in this asset is Metra #129 - Village of Wilmette. If you want a different number and city name, let me know in the comments.

These train assets are derived from bsquiklehausen's fine modelling work (with permission) and feature new textures using photos where possible. These aren't 100% perfect, so don't go counting rivets. Just enjoy that blue & orange rolling by.

This train will carry 600 passengers (100 per passenger car) This type of gallery commuter has a max capacity of over 140 people per car in the real world, so 100 per car is a nice boost in game, and gives your cims a little extra elbow room. This 6-car train is a tight fit in vanilla train stations and may prevent other trains from arriving while it's there.

Check my workshop for "Metra BYO" to Build Your Own Metra train, or post a comment.
Prop versions are also available.
